liquid,gas,and solid
The matter that takes the shape but not the volume of its container is a gas. Gases have particles that are far apart and move freely, allowing them to fill the shape of their container but not have a fixed volume.
A gas is a form of matter that takes the shape of its container but cannot be easily compressed. Gas particles are widely spaced and move freely, allowing them to fill the entire volume of the container they are in.
Water does not have a definate shape or volume because it takes the shape of any container it is put into.
A liquid has a definite size but no definite shape. In contrast, a solid has definite size and shape, and a gas has no definite size or shape.
A gas or a plasma takes on the entire size (volume) and shape of its container. A liquid takes the shape of its container but always has a definite size (volume) and may not completely fill its container.

Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter (with solid, liquid and plasma being the other states). It has the distinction of taking both the shape and the volume of the container that it is in. If you want to include plasma, that too will expand - acting like a gas. So will supercritical fluids which might be considered gases by some definitions, but not by others..
